How on earth do you manage to pop into Ikea "for a little while"?
It
seems to take ages to get out once I get in.

You have to find the door that allows you to short-circuit the
endless
tour through departments you don't want (near the cafe in the Brent
Park
store, as I remember).

In Croydon it's at the end of the corridor to the toilets - immediately
opposite the main entrance on the ground floor. If it's busy, knowing
that can save you about half an hour!
